First, a little Lobo history …
What, yet another back-in-my-day story from the old guy? Wait — don’t stop reading, at least not until you see where I’m going. Tuesday’s Lobo basketball game against Fresno State in the Pit, I promise, will be discussed.
But, first, the history.
The 1989 New Mexico football Lobos weren’t just a little better than the 1988 Lobos. They were way better — bigger, faster, stronger. Entering the 1989 season, there was every reason believe UNM would improve significantly on the 2-10 record the Lobos posted in 1988.
And yet, when the helmets and pads were put away in November 1989, the Lobos once again were 2-10.
